Shaping your workforce to meet changing needs

6 July, 19.30 – 20.15

Watch on-demand here

With an evolving patient journey and a drive towards a primary care centred approach, more opportunities are emerging for community pharmacy to be part of this journey. Treatments and clinical therapy being closer to the patient’s home, will enable community pharmacists further integration  within primary care with better patient access compared to the more traditional approach of hospital based therapies.
This greater more clinical and integrated role has been reflected in the recently (January 2021) launched Initial education standards of pharmacists.  Embedded within these standards are the independent prescriber standards, introduced from year one of the pharmacist student journey, so that upon qualification the pharmacist is also an Independent Pharmacist Prescriber.

When we practice mindfulness, attention is no longer entangled with the past or future and we are not judging, evaluating or resisting what we experience in the present moment.
